Canada owes Britain nothing say free-lance writer Frank Kelley
A Maclean’s essay by Frank Kelley argues Canada should sever ties with Britain and adopt a distinct flag while acknowledging past debts. He claims England’s investment served its own aims and that loyalty to the Union Jack should end, urging pride in Canadian symbols without denying Britain’s historical influence. He expects many to agree with his logic. The column also comments on the LaRiviere name dispute and previews a River Heights by-election centering on Maitland Steinkopf, with voters facing a clear Liberal vs Conservative choice and scrutiny of Art Centre land deals.
